Cleaning the debris filter
We recommend cleaning the debris filter at least 5 or 6 times a year, or when the “5E” error code is displayed. If foreign substances accumulate at the debris filter, the performance of the Eco Bubble function will be reduced.
CAUTION: Before cleaning the debris filter, make sure to unplug the washing machine from the electrical outlet.
CAUTION: Do not disassemble the debris filter while the machine is running as hot water may flow out.
